NATIONAL HIV VACCINE AWARENESS DAY – MAY 18

#hivvaccineawarenessday

HIV has been identified as the cause of AIDS for over 30 years. However, researchers are still on their quest to find a vaccine. To assist those affected by HIV and AIDS, there are treatments and preventative steps available. However, a safe vaccine is still the only way to reduce its spread. Today, we must spread the word to raise concerns and education about HIV vaccine research.

Nearly 1 out of 7 people are currently living with HIV. That means nearly 37.9 million people around the world are living with HIV/AIDS. In addition, the virus appears to be most prevalent in the world's poorest and most marginalized populations. The leading causes of HIV infection are education, preventative steps, and medical therapy.

There are vaccines for several diseases that are caused by bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately, there is no cure for HIV-infected people. Scientists are still searching for a way to produce an effective therapy. Multiple companies are collaborating to find a successful treatment. Clinical trials and experiments are regularly occurring around the world in the hopes of fighting the virus in the hopes of eradicating the virus.
